Muography data analysis - Postdoc at Lyon U.

The present post-doctoral position is opened for 1 year to physicists and/or geophysicists on the field of muography applied to geosciences with a particular focus on the domes of active volcanoes.
 

The DIAPHANE collaboration (Universités de Lyon, Rennes, Paris, UMR5822, 6118, 7154, CNRS IN2P3 – INSU) is the pioneering group in France using muography techniques to study the structure and the dynamics of active volcanoes since 2008.
 

It has deployed muon detectors over various kind of targets : active volcanoes (Soufrière of Guadeloupe, Etna, Mayon), underground laboratories, anthropic structures.
 

The main objectives of the present position is to analyze an unique dataset of muography data collected since 2015 on the dome of the Soufrière of Guadeloupe, to refine the present models and methods to invert data and build the masses distributions within the target and to participate to data taking campaign on sites.

Possible extension to these objectives is the setting-up of a new data taking campaign on an archaeological tumulus close to Thessaloniki in Greece.
